The Friend

THE FRIEND He’s always hanging around Smiling Sometimes I think he’s a bit mentally weak For looks – if you can get past the constant smiling – i’d say he’s nice featured But his clothes are well nothing particular When he talks to me It’s always a question What do I think about this about that? I try to be evasive Walk the other way But then I keep running into this guy I’m kind of a stand-off person Don’t have any real tight friends But those I know don’t think of me as weird I hope! So this – what could you call it but stalking – has gone on for weeks Now this morning I’m deep in thought Listening to one of the little groups that gather in the hall These kids are looking serious They say this kid some kid some weirdo Hung himself in his bedroom last night Dave Austin
